Though we of the United States have
little to do with the Argentine Republic
nowadays. the pioneers Of the prosperity
Of that country were citizens of this. In
1896 William Wheelwright. of Pennsvl-
vania. was wrecked on the Argentine
coast, and made his way to small
town called Quilmar. hatless. coatless.
bootless. and starving. He remained in
the place because he had no means to
pay his passage elsewhere. and forty
years later constructed the first railway
in South America. from Quilmar to
Buenos Ayres. He built the first rail
way in Chill also. and is founder of the
Pacific Steam Navigation company.
whose vessels run twice a week from
Liverpool TO Panama, through the Strait
of Magellan. Both Chill and the Ar
gentine Republic have erected monu-
ments to the memory Of Mr.. Wheel
wright in their public squares.-Wnl-

A Mountain Climbing Fever.

Not very long ago. mild mountain
climbing fever Permeated certain society
circles. There is most convenient noun
tain. Tamalpais, close at our doors. an
easy mountain TO scale. and a grand
scenic reward awaiting those who reached
the summit. Parties We're equipped for
the climb. and for a month or 50 il was
considered quite the thing to do Tamal-
pals. and write ones S name on the record
book on top. Walking shoes were in de-
mand, women trained in the park for the
great feat. men spurted up California
street hill to get their muscles quite up
to the mark. The deer hunter. lurking
in the canyons or scrambling over the
mountain spurs, was astonished ut the
CAV parties that invaded his territory.
There was sense of wildneSS. adj
venture. and endurance about the feat
that gratiiied the ladies immensely.
Then there came n frost. chilling fro. /
of indifference to mountain climbs. and
one could not organize party of ladies
and gentlemen to make the ascent now
for any consideration. The reason why
this very healthful and very delightful
amusement became unpopular was that
no one had courage enough to invest it
with that picturesque character which
would have established it in the female
mind. No one went in for regular
mountain costume. the very short skirts,
the cunning hats and the alpenstock.
Had some daring person once started
this toilet for Tamalpais, the seamy sides
of that grizzly sentinel would have borne
almost daily the impress of the female
foot. and the gentle sex could enter into
competition for the laurel crown to he
awarded TO the hest mountain climber
Tie Argonaut.

The Esquimaux Male as n Do.igcr.

Iwcll remember the first time saw an
Esquimaux house i'll process of erection.
The men were employed in cutting huge
| blocks Of frozen SHOW. which were labO-
riously carried by the women to where a
foundation had already been laid. and
where each block was laid over the other
until a SNOW hut five feet in height was
quickly raised. Here the mems labor
! ceased. and the poor women, each armed
with sort of wooden snow shovel, next
proceeded to carefully chink the cracks
and later to cover the entire habitation
with loose snow. While thus employed
the women were without any covering
whatever to their hands, and the action
Uf the cold wind must have caused them
indescribable suiferinCs.
The men. however. wore long mi;tens
made of reindeer fur and reaching be-
yond the elbow, where they were firmly
secured to prevent snow from reaching
The hands when cutting and handling
blocks. I've seen these mittens when
frozen stiff given by husband to his
wife or daughter to thaw cut. this result
being accomplished by the poor creature

With all the abuse and hardships endured
by Esquimaux women they still appear
to be always contented with their lot. and

Have You Ever Thought Of This

A great national danger turks in the
game of baseball. 1t is essentially dan
gerous to republics. All readers of an
cient history remember that the Greeks
nearly lost their country by remaining
at their games after Xerxes had crossed
the Hellespont, and that sacrificed King
Leonidas and his heroic band to their
selfish love of outdoor sport. OF course
the Greeks did not play baseball. no
Greek being bold enough to act as um-
pire. but their passion was similar to
ours. History repeats itself so often that
the American citizen may vet see the
American people of the Union deeply all
sorbed in baseball while foreign in
vader is landing its hosts on our unpro-
tected coasts. Let congress consider this
matter and find some means of preveting
SO alarming a situation. Flatonia TEX. }

There Is strange phenomenon con-
nected with the Upper Red river. have
several times been stranded by low water
IN the Upper Red say 500 miles below
the source. lying a steamboat for
weeks awaiting rain and a rise. Without
any rain III the vicinity of where the boat
was ! have seen the river come up twenty
feet or more in one night. figure out
the phenomenon in this way: The sources
of the Red river are in the I.iano Estacado
OF New Mexico. and the rains falling upon
these great plains pour down into the
.lead waters of the river. and the water
comes rushing down many hundreds of
miles. where there have been no rains for
weeks, and thus result in the unlocked

Much was said-very unjustly and very
MISUNDERSTANDING the campaign that has
just closed, abou. Governor Foraker's al
legged extremely partisan administration. :"
Those familiar with the facts pertaining to
our State institutions know very well that
while changes have been made by putting
republicans in the place Of democrats. no
changes have been made except for other
than political reasons. We know Of one
democrat. in charge Of one Of our reform
atory schools or homes. who was appointed
by Governor Hoadly, who was permitted to
remain through Governor Foraker's first
term and will not be likely to be disturbed
during his second term. But be allows no
partisan politics to be discussed in the in
stitution and he is in all respects remarka-
bly, welliitted for his position. The Board
Of State Charitlss-composed Of both DEM
ocrats and republicans-say, one and all.
that they find the puolic institutions Of the
State in the best condition they have ever
known them to b- in. in all their experience
and this goes back, in the case of some
OF them. to the late war. and in the case of
others-Hon. John W. Andrews, for one
through q period OF forty years. In
private note to the editor
OF the REPUBLIc, Governor Foraker
says: Il have come to the conclusion
that the people of the State do not visit
their institutions enough. II they would
pay some attention to them there would be
a better understanding of what becomes of
our taxes, and higher appreciation of the
creditablc fact that Ohio has the best char
liable and benevolent institutions of any
State In the union" We feel sure that the
governor cannot object to our taking this
extract from private letter. as the matter
is not only creditsble to him but of impor-
tsnce to the people of the state. We think |
that the governor is quite right in feeling
that Ohio, in her state charities and be-
nevolent work. is in the front rank of |
American commonwealths. And We may |
safely say this As to her reformatory in
stitutions.
